About This Access Site
This is a possible alternate exit point on the Escanaba River's Middle Branch in Richmond Township, Marquette County. Located at coordinates 46.34299900, -87.59600100, this whitewater access site serves as an alternative takeout for paddlers running the river. As an alternate exit, this location would be particularly useful for trip planning and shuttle logistics for boaters paddling the upper sections of the M.Br. Escanaba. The site is positioned to provide flexibility for multi-section runs or as a contingency landing point depending on water conditions and paddling objectives.

Whitewater paddlers using this site should coordinate shuttle arrangements in advance, as alternate exit points often have limited amenities compared to primary access areas. The Middle Branch of the Escanaba River in this region supports kayaking and canoeing activities, and this takeout location would be most relevant for those running sections of whitewater with moderate difficulty typical of the area's river character.
